Players, Partners, People and Planet<\/strong> \u2013 reinforcing the company\u2019s long\u2011standing belief that sustainable growth and responsible business are inseparable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2025 marked Play\u2019n GO\u2019s most advanced year of sustainability performance to date, driven by continued innovation, data integrity, and governance maturity across the business. The report highlights major progress in climate action, responsible game design, people development, and purpose\u2011driven partnerships, while maintaining a strong focus on regulated markets and transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vanessa Bj\u00f6rkbacka<\/strong>, director of CSR at Play\u2019n GO, said: \u201cWe have always believed that great entertainment should be fun, safe and fair. This report reflects two decades of learning, evolution and commitment to doing things the right way. Sustainability is not a separate initiative for us \u2013 it is embedded into how we design our games, how we work with partners, and how we build the business for the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nAmong the report\u2019s key highlights is Play\u2019n GO\u2019s continued leadership in climate action<\/strong>. The company has already achieved and exceeded its long\u2011term 90 per cent reduction target for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, reaching this milestone 15 years ahead of The Climate Pledge and 25 years ahead of the Paris Agreement\u2019s 2050 target. Play\u2019n GO also achieved a 69 per cent absolute reduction in Scope 3 emissions against its 2023 base year, with total material emissions for 2025 kept below 500 MTCO2e.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe report also sets out Play\u2019n GO\u2019s growing role in shaping responsible entertainment standards<\/strong> beyond its own operations. In 2025, the company launched its first land\u2011based gaming solution in partnership with Genting UK, extending its player\u2011first, low\u2011footprint approach into regulated land\u2011based environments. The solution helps operators reduce energy use, hardware requirements and electronic waste, demonstrating how innovation can simultaneously enhance player experience and environmental performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPlayer well-being<\/strong> remains central to Play\u2019n GO\u2019s sustainability strategy. The company continues to reject game mechanics it believes compromise player trust or well-being, maintaining a player\u2011first design philosophy focused on balanced game mathematics, transparency, and long\u2011term engagement. During the year, Play\u2019n GO also contributed to global conversations on digital well-being and cognitive health, including participation at the United Nations and G7, reflecting the increasing importance of responsible digital entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe People pillar<\/strong> of the report highlights continued investment in building a connected, future\u2011ready organisation. In 2025, 43 per cent of employees engaged in AI\u2011related learning, while average training time exceeded seven hours per employee globally. Play\u2019n GO further strengthened leadership development, well-being initiatives, and community contribution, including rapidly growing participation in volunteer time\u2011off programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStrong governance and data integrity<\/strong> underpin the entire report. During the year, Play\u2019n GO further aligned its reporting with global frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals and World Economic Forum Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics, while investing in secure, AI\u2011supported carbon data management to ensure high\u2011quality, future\u2011ready reporting for partners and stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cAs expectations on transparency and accountability continue to rise, we see it as our responsibility to lead,\u201d Bj\u00f6rkbacka added. \u201cOur partners, regulators and players all benefit when sustainability data is credible, measurable and meaningful. This report is about equipping them \u2013 and ourselves \u2013 with information that supports better decision\u2011making.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
